“The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in time of trouble.” (Psalm 9:9)

The Taproot, the True North, the One Trick Pony, the Mockingbird of the Old Old Story found yet again in the psalmist’s song. God is a refuge. When you are oppressed, when you are in trouble, God is you Turn To. 

What is so wonderous is that you can turn to Him no matter what you have done to deserve your trouble No questions asked. Just come unto me and I will give you rest.

“Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.” (Proper 18 – BCP)
